FAO: Bristol Feminist Network,

 

I am contacting you from a BBC1 television programme called The Big Questions, a live, Sunday morning, moral and ethical debate show hosted by Nicky Campbell.

 

On next week's show, Sunday May 24, we are in Bristol where we plan to debate the issue of prostitution, asking whether it should be legalised, and I was wondering if you might be able to to be put me in touch with someone from your organisation who would be interested in taking part?

 

I am particularly interested in featuring a feminist perspective on the subject - perhaps addressing whether making prostitution a legal, recognised profession is to empower women, or whether it is turning women into a commodity to be used and abused.

 

I know I am simplifying the issue here, but I do hope you can help - I'm sure you understand that we need to make the debate as fair and balanced as possible, so must represent all views on the subject.

 

I look forward to hearing from you,

 

Many thanks,

 

Victoria Thake
